When children leave Walford Primary School, we aim for them to be Digital Creators (Computer Science), Communicators (ICT) and Citizens (Digital Citizenship). They will see Computing as an integral aspect of all areas of their learning. They will have a broad set of skills to support and enhance their learning, therefore providing them with life skills in preparation for an ever-growing digital world.

Our Computing curriculum facilitates sequential learning and long-term progression of knowledge and skills.

This will enable all children to alter their long-term memory and know more, remember more and be able to do more as computer scientists.
